Josh And Just 2
JC woke up with a killer pain within his neck. He wasn't quite sure
what caused it until he opened his eyes fully. He looked at his position
and recalled everything that had happened the night before. He had held
Justin in his time of need and had fallen asleep while sitting up and
worrying about Justin. He also recalled that today was the day. Today was
the day that he was going to tell the group. Justin squirmed a little and
ended up tightening his grip on JC' waist.
"Just." JC whispered, slightly nudging him. He hated to wake Justin
up especially after what happened last night, but he knew they had to get
ready and meet up with everyone else before they head to the airport.
"Mmmmm. What?" Justin asked crankily as he buried his face into JC'
chest.
"Justin. Come on we have to get up." JC said. Justin reluctantly
sat up and rubbed his eyes of drowsiness and looked around at his position.
"Did I fall asleep on you?" Justin asked, confused at why he woke
up the way he did.
"Yeah." JC replied as he took the chance to get up and stretch.
"I'm sorry. I guess you make a good pillow." Justin laughed. JC
sighed, knowing that after he told Justin the comfortable feeling about
being around each other will be gone. He wanted everything to be exactly
the same as it was now. He didn't want his friendship with anyone from the
group to change. Joey might understand. Lance understands. Chris may have a
problem. And Justin. He wasn't sure at how Justin would react after that
incident. Maybe he hated gay people all together after that.
"Hey JC! Yoo Hoo! Snap out of it. We have to get ready." Justin
said, walking past JC. JC quickly brought himself out of his thought filled
trance and began to get ready.
"No! We are not getting her to be in the next video. Let's get
someone like Jennifer Love Hewitt, or no Christina Aguilera! Someone like
that, not Britney." Chris commented.
"Why not Britney. We're going to be on a tour with her in a week
anyway so might as well." Lance commented while plopping down onto the
bed. Chris, Joey and Lance sat contemplating what girl they want in their
next video as they lounged about Joey and Chris's hotel room.
"Well I still say Jennifer Love Hewitt." Chris complained.
"What about her?" Justin asked as he walked through the door with
JC following behind.
"Okay! I Know Justin has my back! Don't you think we should have
Jennifer Love Hewitt for our next video?" Chris proposed, getting excited.
"No she was already in the LFO video. We can't have her video
hopping. When are we shooting the video?" Justin asked.
"In a month." Joey spoke up.
"How about Britney? We're gonna be on tour with her." Justin said
falling onto the bed next to Lance.
"What do you think JC? You've been pretty quiet." Joey stated,
drawing attention to JC.
"Oh I don't care. Anyone you guys choose will be fine." JC claimed
while he sat on the couch next to Joey.
"Okay. What's wrong J?" Joey asked as he looked straight at JC.
"Nothing." JC dismissed.
"Liar." Justin replied. JC looked toward Lance and then to everyone
else.
"Okay I guess I should tell you guys now. Well I kind of don't know
how to explain this but I'll just try and say this up
front. Umm.guys.I'm.I'm.I'm." JC tried.
"Stuttering." Chris laughed.
"No.. I'm.I.I'm g.I'm g..." JC tried, frustration getting a hold of
him.
"What is it JC? You know anything you want to tell us will be
okay. You're still that lovable heartthrob JC." Joey said, joking with JC
and giving him encouragement at the same time.
"Okay...I'm.gay." JC said closing his eyes. He didn't want to see
the expressions on any of their faces. He waited for someone to say
something, yet the only thing that followed was silence.
"Oh I got it! We could have Jessica Simpson in the video." Chris
shouted. JC opened his eyes in confusion and looked toward Chris who was
smiling over his suggestion. JC looked toward Joey who was looking at JC
with a half smile, not quite sure how to act. Lance looked toward him with
a nod. Chris was still smiling about his idea. JC took a breath and looked
toward Justin who was sitting their silently, looking as if he was
thinking.
"Chris didn't you hear what JC said?" Joey asked, wondering why
Chris was still happy about the girl he picked.
" Yeah I heard. JC likes to drive on the other side of the
road. But that doesn't mean anything. It only means I can't tease him for
not having a girlfriend anymore." Chris responded.
"True. Very insightful Chris. I never would have though you'd say
that." Lance said.
"Thanks.Hey!" Chris said, getting the insult. He laughed it off
with Lance.
"I'm cool with it. And if I wasn't it wouldn't matter cause I can't
change you. I still don't get it. You act really straight for a gay guy."
Joey said.
"You act straight better than I do." Justin commented. Heads
whipped towards Justin in shock.
"You too?" Joey questioned. Justin gave a small nod.
"Okay who else is hiding something. Lance you aren't going to tell
me you are actually a woman right?" Chris joked.
"Why didn't you guys tell us? Did you just find out? Or did you
know and just not tell us?" Joey inquired.
"I was scared you guys might throw me out of the group or changed
the way you acted around me or something." JC admitted.
"And I felt the same way. That and I didn't know how to tell you
guys." Justin replied.
"Okay. Well now that that is all over. We can talk about
business. Unless someone else here would like to tell us something." Joey
changed the subject, knowing that he shouldn't ask too many questions right
now.
Justin followed his band mates as they traveled through the airport
along with security, management, Public relations and advertisers. The
entire *N Sync team was heading home for a week of relaxation only to come
back together for the *N Sync and Britney Spears Tour. The group waked
through the crowds to there gate where they took all the empty chairs
available. Justin looked back and saw the teenage girls being held back by
the airport security. He sent them a wave, which made them scream even
louder. He looked around and saw al the seats filled. He took a seat on the
floor looking out the window at the planes leaving. He heard someone take a
seat next to him, yet he didn't look. He didn't have to to know that it was
JC.
"Hi Josh. What's up?" Justin asked.
"Not much. Just thinking. Thinking about me and thinking about the
group. And thinking about you. And what happened to you." JC replied
honestly.
"I was thinking about you too." Justin replied. He looked over to
JC who was now looking at him.
"When did you finally realize that you were gay? It wasn't when
that guy did.you. Right?" JC asked.
"No it was before that. But when he was doing the things he was
doing all I could think about was how bad I feel. He disgraced all gay
people all over the world. It was him that made me doubt myself. I was
helpless. Tied up and gagged in that dark alley." Justin remembered, while
tears struck his eyes.
"Oh Just. It's okay. Don't think about that. Just think that he is
locked up and nothing will ever happen to you. I'll make sure you'll never
get hurt like that again." JC stated while wrapping his arm around Justin's
shoulder for comfort.
"Thanks Josh." Justin replied softly. `Why do I feel so safe around
Josh? How come I feel so comfortable with him? Is it because we are so
close? Do I like him? He is cute. What am I saying?' Justin pondered. "I
think I love him." Justin said out loud. He quickly covered his mouth and
looked toward JC who was looking at him.
